Ronaldo is already being hung out to dry by sections of the English (and British) media.

Farcical, the guy pushed Rooney's buttons and knew exactly how to wind him up. If Rooney had any sense at all, he would have walked away, but took the bait.

Things like that, and I'm talking about the incident at kick off when Ronaldo had a niggle at Rooney and words were exchanged, happen in EVERY game at every level.

For some reason, Ronaldo will be on the end of a witch hunt. Meanwhile Rooney, who stood on a guys meat and two veg, will be protected as he is the great English hope for the next world cup.........
